Skeletal system
Across
- 2. a tube with a hollow chamber formed by compact bone in the diaphysis of a long bone
- 3. A seris of tubes around narrow channels formed by lamellae, surrounded blood vessels and nerve fibers throughout the bone and communicate with osteocytes
- 6. a tough vascular covering of dense connective tissue that encloses a bone
- 8. situated or occourring with cartilage
- 9. the shaft of the bone
- 11. absorbs bone tissue during growth/healing
- 14. equal lengths and widths; small and nebular embedded in a tendon adjacent to a joint where tendon is compressed
- 16. composes the wall of the diaphysis, it has a continuous extracellular matrix with no gaps, forms the medullary cavity, contains trabecule
Down
- 1. variety of shapes and connected to other bones
- 4. a layer of hyaline cartilage that coats the outer surface of the articulating portion of the epihysis
- 5. forms a joint with another bone, at the end of a long bone
- 7. bone forming cells
- 10. composes the epiphyses, has thin layer of compact bone on their surface, does not contain trabecule
- 12. bone cells;tiny bone chambers called lacunae
- 13. longitudinal axes and expanded cells
- 15. platelike structures with broad surfaces
